The major terrestrial ecosystems are classified into units called biomes. Biomes are large regions characterized by certain conditions, including a range of climate and ecological communities adapted to those conditions. The major terrestrial ecosystems are:
Desert
Forest
Canyonlands National Park (San Juan county, Utah, United States) U.S. National Archives
Coniferous
Deciduous
Rainforest
Grassland
Tundra
Characteristics of terrestrial ecosystems vary with respect to biotic and abiotic factors. It is the abiotic factors which define the type of biome.
Organisms have specific structure, functions, and behaviors that enable them to survive the conditions of the particular ecosystem in which they live. These are known as adaptations.
